Globe girdling flight with B-29s proceeds with limited scope
The 329 flight list includes Jowan and Lt. Leslie R. Fels with a stop in the Azores on Friday. The project, the third globe girdling attempt for Super Fortresses, is scaled down from earlier plans after the State Department opposed a larger 30-plane world tour. Earlier in 1946 Symington proposed a B-29 globe flight, but diplomacy halted it. The latest mission aims to train crews for long over water operations and to acclimate personnel to world wide conditions, with limited fueling bases and routes near Russia.
